Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race with many winning chances. PLAINS IN HEAVEN (11) finished off strongly for second at Melton two starts ago then didn’t have much room in the straight and had little luck when sixth behind Emily Vincent last week. He has a tricky draw but is worth a ticket each way. NAKULA (13) did a lot wrong and had excuses at her latest unplaced performance. She was runner up behind the in-form pacer The Narcissist at Melton prior so she is worth another chance. MIRAKURU (10) is resuming since a fifth at Bendigo in December but will be fitter after a recent Melton trial fourth and was competing against strong opposition during his last campaign of racing so a forward showing would not surprise. KWICK SAND (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing consistently since resuming so he is worth an investment. VALIENTE (6) possesses a powerful finishing burst and has claims along with CAPTAIN MAASTRICHT (8), which had excuses after enduring a wide trip at his latest attempt. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2,3,7 RATINGS: 11/ 10,13/ 5/ 6,8/ 12/ FIELD

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race with many winning chances. PLAINS IN HEAVEN (11) finished off strongly for second at Melton two starts ago then didn’t have much room in the straight and had little luck when sixth behind Emily Vincent last week. He has a tricky draw but is worth a ticket each way. NAKULA (13) did a lot wrong and had excuses at her latest unplaced performance. She was runner up behind the in-form pacer The Narcissist at Melton prior so she is worth another chance. MIRAKURU (10) is resuming since a fifth at Bendigo in December but will be fitter after a recent Melton trial fourth and was competing against strong opposition during his last campaign of racing so a forward showing would not surprise. KWICK SAND (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing consistently since resuming so he is worth an investment. VALIENTE (6) possesses a powerful finishing burst and has claims along with CAPTAIN MAASTRICHT (8), which had excuses after enduring a wide trip at his latest attempt.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: It is a very open race with many winning chances. PLAINS IN HEAVEN (11) finished off strongly for second at Melton two starts ago then didn’t have much room in the straight and had little luck when sixth behind Emily Vincent last week. He has a tricky draw but is worth a ticket each way. NAKULA (13) did a lot wrong and had excuses at her latest unplaced performance. She was runner up behind the in-form pacer The Narcissist at Melton prior so she is worth another chance. MIRAKURU (10) is resuming since a fifth at Bendigo in December but will be fitter after a recent Melton trial fourth and was competing against strong opposition during his last campaign of racing so a forward showing would not surprise. KWICK SAND (5) is a fast beginner and has been racing consistently since resuming so he is worth an investment. VALIENTE (6) possesses a powerful finishing burst and has claims along with CAPTAIN MAASTRICHT (8), which had excuses after enduring a wide trip at his latest attempt. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible leader), 2,3,7 RATINGS: 11/ 10,13/ 5/ 6,8/ 12/ FIELD
